I am not really a collector, but I am a saver. "You never know when that might come in handy." How many times have I said those very words. Occasionally, the item is a lifesaver. Too many times, closets and storage spots get full.
When it comes to my treasures, it can be hard to let go. I am sentimental by nature.
When we do find the courage to let go of some stuff, there is a unique freedom. We lay our burdens down and are set free.
Here is great advice:
"My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God’s Spirit. Then you won’t feed the compulsions of selfishness. For there is a root of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free spirit, just as the free spirit is incompatible with selfishness. "Galatians 5:16
I like this list of suggested purges. The love of my life would be thrilled if I conquered just a few room. I did do some purging over the Christmas break.
Today, I am grateful for the urge to purge.
